when I was a teen 30 years ago, 'round here the main jobs going in Summer
were ripping up the bogs for turf or raising animals for slaughter on a farm.
you would be privileged if you got any other job.
my parents got me a job on a farm and then bullied me into continuing with it
when I said I wasn't going to go back the next year. when I finished with it,
I'd spent about 55 weeks doing this 1990-1993.
I was lucky - my folks didn't own a farm so eventually I got away.
but if I lived on a farm who knows what might have happened.
